Destiny

Adam’s life changed after he moved in with Wang Li. Wang Li was a rich and famous person. He treated Adam as his son. He introduced him as his son everywhere he went.  He took him to all of his MMA fights. They trained together every day.

   As they say, time flies. Five years passed. Now Adam was in high school final year. He was now a master of the art that Wang Li created. In High school, he had a girlfriend named Sara. She was the most beautiful girl in high school. Adam loved her very much.

   Adam met Sara when she got admitted to high school in 11th grade. She transferred from California to New York and she got admission in this high school. It was her first day she was standing in front of her locker and Adam was running because he was getting late for his basket ball game. He was running when he bumped into Sara. She fell on the ground. Adam said, ‘sorry, my mistake I was getting late for my game and…’ Sara turned and Adam forgot what he was saying. He turned into a statue. Adam forgot to blink. She was the most beautiful girl he has ever seen.

    Sara said, ‘It’s alright.’ Adam didn’t reply; he was just looking at her with his open mouth. Sara snapped her fingers in front of him and said, ‘are you fine?’ Adam came back to his senses and he said, ‘yes, I am alright. I was just thinking about my bad behavior. Sorry.’ ‘It was just an accident,’ Sara replied.

  ‘Are you new here? Because I am seeing you here for the first time,’ Adam inquired. Sara said, ‘yeah, it’s my first day in the school. By the way, my name is Sara. What is your name?’ ‘Adam, My name is Adam,’ he said. Both shook each other’s hands.

  Sara said, ‘well it was nice bumping into you.’

Both laughed. Adam was in love with her the moment he saw her beautiful smiling face. He offered her coffee as an apology and she accepted it. She was new to the town and she wanted to make friends.

  They went to take coffee later in the evening. They talk about their interests and everything. She told him, she liked combat sports. She was just crazy about MMA fighting. He instantly told her about Wang Li and how he adopted him and taught him his martial art. She was very excited to hear that. They became friends.

   Time went by and their friendship turned into love. Both loved each other very much.

  It was their final year and the prom night was coming soon. The whole school was excited about it. Last year they went to prom together and this year they were hoping to become prom king and queen.

  A week before prom, Adam went to Wang and asked him if he would give him his new Ferrari for prom. Wang said, ‘of course…I won’t give it to you.’ First, he got very excited but when Wang Li completed his sentence. He made a face and left his room. Wang Li was sitting in his room laughing.

  On the prom night, Adam was very excited. He was ready before time. He was wearing a tuxedo. Looking like a gentleman. Wang took some pictures of Adam. When Adam was about to leave to pick up Sara, Wang called him and threw his car keys at him. Adam got very happy and came running and hugged him.

    He went to Sara’s home to pick her up. He went inside her home. Sara’s mother welcomed him inside. She told him to wait, Sara is coming. Adam was sitting in the drawing-room when he heard someone was coming down from the stairs. He turned his head and he saw the queen of his dream dressed in a red gown. She was looking like a fairy from heaven descending to Earth from heavens.

   She came down and stood in front of Adam. Adam was looking at her like he was looking at her on the first day they met. He forgot to blink. Sara felt shy seeing him looking at her like this. Sara was blushing. Adam kneeled in front of her and gave her the flowers he brought for her.

  Sara’s mother gave them their blessing and they left Sara’s house to go to prom. Adam had a surprise for her. He was going to propose to her in front of the whole school. They went inside the hall. Everyone was dancing and enjoying it. Disco lights, decoration with red heart-shaped balloons, and sweet music it looked awesome. They went near their friends. They enjoyed it a lot.

  Finally, the moment came, all were waiting for. The voting result for the prom king and queen were in the hands of the principal. First, he thanked all students for coming and gave a little speech. After that, he announced the names of the prom king and queen. Adam and Sara were king and queen of the prom. They went on stage. They were crowned as king and queen.

  Sara took the microphone and thanked everyone who voted for them. Everyone was cheering for them. She expressed her feelings. She was new in town and how everyone loved her. She then turned towards Adam and told him how much she loved him.

  Adam was looking in her eyes and he said, ‘the first day I saw you, you stole my heart. You are my first and last love. I want to be with you for the rest of my life.’ He kneeled and asked her, ‘will you be my queen for the rest of my life.’ He had a ring in his hand and Sara got overwhelmed by the happiness and joy she shouted, ‘yes, yes, I will be your Queen for the rest of my life.’ Adam put the ring on her finger and hugged her. They kissed each other. Both were very happy. The crowd was cheering for them.

    Later when prom night was over, Adam dropped Sara at her door. They were standing at the door. Sara was looking at her ring. Both had a lot of things to say but they kept quiet. They were just enjoying the feeling. Adam went near Sara and kissed her. Then he turned and went into his car. Sara opened the door of her house. They looked at each other with eyes full of love and feelings. They kept looking at each other’s eyes for a moment then Adam drove away.

   He was very excited. He was driving fast to get home quickly. He wanted to share this news with Wang. When he reached home he saw his house burning. He quickly got out of the car. House was covered with flames and the firefighters were trying to put out the fire.
